You boys done f**king around? The question is how come his nut is tight? The answer is when the axel is installed Properly, from the right side and the nut being on the left side, as you ride the actual spins in the direction of the tire and the nut stays tight. I see a lot of bikes with the axel installed backwards. People do this to avoid having to remove the exhaust pipe when removing the rear wheel. It is a mistake that can cause the nut to come loose in the axle to move. I know this from experience. Take the time to put it on right and it will stay tight.
Ok, resume obnoxious behavior.
